EtherNet/IP (short: EIP) is real-time Ethernet, and is mainly used in automation technology.
Communication via EtherNet/IP is possible via the following connection(s):
● Via the Option Board Ethernet CBE20
Possible drive units:
● CU320-2 PN
● CU320-2 DP

Connect drive device to Ethernet/IP
In order that your drive can be connected to a control system via Ethernet, your control
system requires a generic I/O module for cyclic communication via EtherNet/IP. You
manually create this generic I/O module in the control system.
Create generic I/O module and connect the drive to the control system
To connect the drive to a control system via Ethernet, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the drive to the control system via an Ethernet cable.
2. In your control, create a generic I/O module with EtherNet/IP functionality.
– Insert a new module in your control system.
– Select a generic Ethernet module from the selection.
– Enter the network parameters for the newly inserted module (IP address, subnet
